using URL syntax does not filter user anymore

[Oliver Vogels]

Dear bibsonomy team,

until some weeks ago it was possible to use URL syntax to filter bibsonomy entries by author and user (e.g. https://www.bibsonomy.org/author/stumme/sys:user:hotho), as it is described on this help page:

https://www.bibsonomy.org/help_en/URL-Syntax

Since some weeks the resulting page does not only list entries by user hotho, but shows entries of all users. Hence it is not possible to search for authors in ones own collection using URL syntax.

The same is true for groups:

https://www.bibsonomy.org/author/stumme/sys:group:kde

Also the URL syntax of /bibtexkey/wille82+sys:user:Stumme seems to be broken, as it is described in https://www.bibsonomy.org/help_en/URL-Syntax, as it does not give any results until the user is removed (https://www.bibsonomy.org/bibtexkey/wille82 works, but shows results of all users)

In case the syntax has changed, please update the help page so it is possible to search ones own collections or groups for certain authors or bibtex keys.

Many thanks!

Oliver Vogels

Dear Oliver,

thank you for bringing this to our attention. The syntax did indeed change:

https://www.bibsonomy.org/search/author:stumme%20AND%20user:hotho

https://www.bibsonomy.org/search/author:stumme%20AND%20group:kde

For the bibtexkey example I’m not sure how to search for bibtexkeys using the /search endpoint. @Mario Holtmüller ?

We will make sure to update the documentation!

You can achieve the last one this way:

https://www.bibsonomy.org/search/bibtexkey:Wille82 AND user:stumme

Dear Jan,

great, this works nicely, thank you so much!

I think this issue can be closed ;-)
